Half fat cola, why not?
Discussion
leaving aside the fact there's no fat in fizzy pop ... ( just short chain carbohydrates from sugar actual suger in most of the world HFCS in the US and fruit sugars if present)
UK formulations of Coke Zero and pepsi max are standard caffeine levels, just a different and 'closer to real taste' formulation of sweeteners - where US Pepsi Max is marketed as an energy drink but sits between the full on energy drinks and standard colas in terms of caffeine content
also Zero / Max is sold as a 'boys drink' and diet is sold as 'girls drink' - the most noticeable contrast being the original advertsing of Pepsi Max vs the advertising of Diet Coke.

Full fat = sugar
fat free = no sugar.
Was it that hard to work out? Thought everyone had heard the phrase full fat cola.
while it perhaps a little cruel of the first two answers just to ridicule you they were in fact factually correct, a half sugar half sweetener product runs the risk of being ridiculed as the worst of both worlds with the fattening and tooth rotting properties of the sugared version and the various conspiracy theories and extrapolations of of testing results over the potential problems of some of the sweeteners ... Full fat = sugar
fat free = no sugar.

all-natural blend of pure cane sugar and extract from the Stevia plant leaf... I thought it was sweeteners but maybe not...
That was the idea.

Problem with Stevia is that it has a bitter aftertaste.http://thefoodielist.co.uk/wp/tate-and-lyle-light-...

saves running down the patent office now thoughMy question is, why would you want it? If you want to have less sugar, just have zero sugar.
The argument I've heard before is that people who drink full sugar don't like the taste of zero sugar... but what's to say the half-sugar variety would have an agreeable taste? Isn't Coke Zero meant to taste the same as full-sugar but with zero sugar (as opposed to Diet Coke being a taste all of it's own)? I can't see the benefit of half-sugar.

And it has consistently failed to pass toxicity testing...
